Yes, that's true. I usually have a thermal sensor monitor on my computers
and only once have I run into that problem really, although I'm pretty
easy on computers, very rarely doing anything stressful on them.
Most of my software is so old that a new processor can sleep though
running it..   B)

At the moment the processor on this computer is at 50c and it
is rated tobe okay up to 115c.. The load with 3 programs running
is down in the 35% range..
